Flying (and crashing) solo: An OC sheriff's deputy crashed his cruiser into a tree on an on-ramp to the I-405 in Seal Beach early this morning. The Register reports that the deputy was not responding to a call at the time of the accident, and no other cars were involved. A CHP investigation is underway.

In case you missed it: Read this week's LA Weekly cover story by political cartoonist Mr. Fish (aka Dwayne Booth). In it, he details a disastrous interview with presidential peace candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich is a complete dipshit to Booth, but somehow ends up being deemed the best person for the job. Aside: Damn Booth for not only being able to write a killer story, but for doing the cover art and inside illustrations too.
